Contraceptive pill – It is up to you when you want to have child

In the recent years, there has been an increase in the number of teen couples who indulge in regular unprotected sexual activity. The fear of accidental pregnancy has resulted in an upsurge in the use of various forms of contraceptive methods. Hormonal contraceptive methods are the most common forms of contraception as you do not have to worry about contraceptive accidents, which are more likely to happen with condoms. Women can now have better control over unexpected situations with hormonal contraceptive methods such as oral contraceptive pills, contraceptive rings or contraceptive patches.

Oral contraceptive pills, popularly known as birth control pills, are the most popular and widely used contraceptive method. Combined contraceptive pills are considered to be the most effective method of contraception as they are composed of two different types of female sex hormones which help in preventing pregnancy. Yasmin is used by millions of women for preventing unplanned pregnancy. This pill has been proven to be almost 100% effective in preventing women from conceiving. You can buy Yasmin online from any of the registered online clinics. The primary active ingredient of Yasmin is ethinylestradiol (artificial oestrogen, 30 micrograms) and drospirenone (artificial progestogen, 3 milligrams). You are required to take this pill for 21 days of your menstrual cycle.

Ovranette is also a popular combination pill and is almost 100% effective in preventing women from getting pregnant. This pill contains ethinylestradiol (artificial oestrogen) and levonorgestrel (artificial progestogen) as its active ingredients. It influences your reproductive cycle and prevents pregnancy in three unique ways. You are required to take this pill for 21 days of your menstrual cycle. You are then to take a break of seven days, during which you might experience a withdrawal bleed. Ovranette also helps in treating endometriosis and long and painful periods. This pill can be taken by women who are above 18 years of age.

Another popular choice of oral contraceptive pill is Dianette, which in addition to helping to prevent pregnancy can also treat acne and hirsutism. Dianette contains a synthetic oestrogen and a synthetic progestogen which work together to prevent conception from taking place. They firstly stop ovulation occuring by causing your body to believe that this proess has already taken place. Secondly, the cervical mucus is made thicker in order to make it harder for sperm to travel to the womb. Finally, the womb lining is altered, making it thinner, so if an egg were to be fertilised it would not be able to attach itself to the womb in order to grow.

At times, the oral contraceptive pills may also cause side effects, which usually pass away as your body gets accustomed to the supply of hormones. Some of the common side effects are nausea, headache, stomach upset, decrease in sex drive, changes in menstrual bleeding, low libido and weight change. These pills should not be taken if you are already pregnant, breastfeeding or suffer from complications such as diabetes, kidney failure, high cholesterol, and liver or heart problems. If any of these side effects persists for a long time, it is better to consult a doctor and seek medical attention.
